Get ready to see some amazing lasagna chefs, including:
- Brooks Wade (2-time defending champion, former owner of Cartecay River Brewery)
- Rolf Hensch (1st-year champion, former owner of Emily’s Fine Dining)
- Jono Agurto (home chef, vlogger, and the perpetual bridesmaid)
- Abbey Prieto of Ellijay TapzAPZ & Adan Prieto of Cartecay River Pizza Co. (local restauranteurs)
- We have room for one more competitor to vie for the unbelievable bragging rights as this year’s lasagna champ! 🎉
Entry fee is $1000, and you must bring 2 large pans of your signature lasagna to compete.
Don’t miss out on live music by Connor Priest all day, and come support a great cause while enjoying a fun day of food, music, and community! 🍷 🎶
